* [[Brick Joke]]: When Angel punched Buffy in "Sanctuary" he said "Not to go all schoolyard on you, but you hit me first." When Buffy gets pissed about him beating up Riley, Angel begins to whine "He started it!" before Buffy's [[Death Glare]] shuts him up.

* [[Ceiling Cling]]: One of the demons in an Initiative cell; his equivalent of "climbing the walls".
* [[Conflict Ball]]: Spike deliberately passes it around by casually making insinuating and subversive comments to make the Scoobies turn on each other and vent repressed feelings of anger and resentment that had been bottled up.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]

* [[Saying Too Much]]: Xander tells Riley about what removes Angel's [[Restraining Bolt]]; sending him into [[Green-Eyed Monster]] mode.
